If you have reached this page, you most likely have been scammed by a man by the name of Darien Small. To make sure we are talking about the same person, he is a very soft spoken African American man with a slight speech impairment. He claims to be a professional wedding photographer. His company name is Awesome StoryBooks and Imagery Interactive.
Darien Small talks large, but fails to deliver. My soon-to-be wife and myself are out $2200. After talking with some other people over the internet, we estimate Darien has scammed nearly $50,000 from unknowing couples! We were lucky to find a replacement photographer before the big day, however, there are couples out there who are not only out money, but wedding pictures from their special wedding day. Darien must be stopped!
Darien was featured on a local Michigan news station. You can find a link to the story in the links section.
The intent of this website it to gain exposure and get as many people who were affected by Darien to come forward so that further action against him can be taken.
For those of you who are unaware, Darien has started a new company, Narrative Imagery. Thanks to the poster below who tipped me off by the email in the comment below.
Spread the word to bridal shows and vendors and other message boards. Make sure to reference this site so that we can continue our quest to get as many stories about his victims.
After looking at his site and online, it appears he is re-targeting the Atlanta area. He has promoted his site as recently as 10/07/2006.

Here's the registrant information for this Domain. It's not Darien, but the site looks like one of his and according to the comments on this site, it would lead me to believe this is 100% Darien.
